At Days of Wonder, being avid gamers ourselves, we've always been huge fans of Humble Bundle - not only is the price right (you pay what you want) and their choice of indie games included in each Bundle always a delight, but they've also done a terrific job of supporting charities we care a great deal about - such as Child's Play!

So we actually were really humbled and totally delighted when they offered to include Ticket to Ride in their Humble Bundle with Android - in the company of such stellar games and long-time favorites of ours such as The Bard's Tale, Worms 2, Greed Corp, Incredipede and Anodyne.

If you already own and love Ticket to Ride on Android or Steam, these other games are a must-check; and if you don't own it yet, you'll never find a better price, since you get to decide how much you will contribute.

So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and check out Humble Bundle with Android 7:

The page has just gone live; you can now acquire all these games in one terrific bundle for the price of your choice AND your contribution will help support two charities - Child's Play and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

A warning to everyone. The Humble Bundle for Android 7 claims it includes a 1910 map pack. I bought the bundle, installed the game, and found there's no additional map pack, just the option to BUY the map pack I already paid for. The Humblebundle version ONLY includes the basic US map.

Halleyscomet:

You probably missed the instructions in the Humble Bundle download page to activate your USA 1910 map. Using the 1910 DLC Steam key that you got in your bundle, go to http://www.daysofwonder.com/hb and enter your key. This will unlock the map on your Days of Wonder account.

I use the Humble app to download my Android games. It makes no mention of any such requirements. After reading your reply I checked the download link Humble Bundle emailed me and saw no mention of the directions you mention.

Requirements like this should be disclosed before purchase, especially when it renders the "DRM Free" claim of the Humble Bundle a bald faced lie.

To play a map advertised as DRM Free I have to sign up for an account here and connect it to a supposedly DRM Free game.

Right now I'm looking for a damn good reason not to contact Humble Bundle and demand a refund because of their false advertising.

Update:
I STILL can't find these alleged install directions anywhere on the HumbleBundle download page. Next time, you might want to have some remedial QA at your end to make sure the third party vendor is giving the customers the directions you expect them to be giving.

2. On this linked-to page are the instructions and keys necessary to retrieve your games. Less than half way down is the following text which tells you how to get the DLC. Click on the link (shown below):

Quote:

Ticket to Ride DLC!

To access the DLC in the DRM-free and Android versions of Ticket to Ride, please visit http://www.daysofwonder.com/hb. To get it on Steam, simply redeem your Steam key for the DLC!

3. This linked-to page says:

Quote:

Non-Steam users: here you can activate your extra maps on your Days of Wonder account, and enjoy them on your Android device and/or your DRM-free game. This is accomplished in this page by using the Steam keys that you received in your Humble Bundle - but without installing Steam!

Steam users: you don't need to do this - you should use your Steam keys directly in Steam instead. This will also unlock the map(s) on your Android device. Just make sure you use the same Days of Wonder account everywhere, of course

Below this helpful info is the area to include your key:

Quote:

Activate a map using a Steam key

To activate a map, enter the Steam key that you received in your Humble Bundle:
Steam Key:

Once your map(s) are activated, go back to your Android device or your DRM-free game, and go the online gaming area:
the Play Online panel or the Restaurant in the Station. This will trigger an update with the server and update your maps.

4. Enjoy your DRM-free experience.

As you can see, I received all necessary info to access my DLC - and as promised it is DRM-free. Hopefully others will benefit from this explanation although it seemed quite clear to me.

I was able to get the map pack working on my Nook. It's been pointed out to me that I'm getting bent out of shape over a charity fund raiser. I've already invested far more frustration and anger in this than is justified.

I apologize for my harsh tone in my earlier comments.

Well this is cool.

I activated the map packs in my Days of Wonder account and they're available not just on my Android device, but on my iPhone as well.

And once again DoW shows why it is the best board game company around. I'm glad you got everything worked out.

This is third electronic version of Ticket to Ride that I have purchased. I purchased first on Steam and found it didn't work on Linux (installed then through Wine and it sorta works). I then purchased the Android version when it came out. Now that there is a Linux version out, I decided to go for it on Humble Bundle.

First, it is unfair that I have to continue to purchase the game to play on different platforms even though I am the only user. It also means buying different maps on different versions. Steam, which I don't use anymore, has all the maps but I have yet to drop the money on getting them for Android.

The game starts but nothing happens. I have a dark overlay atop the start screen. I do not know where to go for help so I write this message here.

Edited to add: I just merged two accounts - the Steam and the Android one and now see that I have web access or something so am trying to follow the directions to get that working. Not sure if that will help my problem. Additionally, merging the accounts didn't seem to get me the maps on Android. I do wish that there had simply been more information so that I didn't mistakenly buy the game 3 times. I feel stupid.

I am sorry to say that I can't get the 1910 expansion activated. As far as I can tell, I did follow all the necessary steps.
I have the license in my Steam account.
If I go to http://www.daysofwonder.com/en/hb and choose "Activate a map using a Steam key", enter the key, I get the response "You already own the corresponding map. No need to activate it again".

On my Android, I enter Online game to "trigger an update" but to no avail. The 1910 expansion is stamped with "Buy".

One thing I really don't understand: On http://www.daysofwonder.com/en/hb it says "Just make sure you use the same Days of Wonder account everywhere, of course." What does this mean? I have a Steam account. I also have a DoW account. How could they be the same?

Just a warning - if you've already bought TtR through Google Play, then any maps you've bought there are not transferable. I've been advised that I'll need to have two installations: one from Humble Bundle containing 1910, and another with my other maps. This is not a workable solution: I didn't see any notice that there would be an incompatibility between what I'd already bought and the 190 add-on.

I realise that, for a charity donation, I got good value for money, etc, but I haven't got what I thought I was buying, and feel a bit let down that core customers, who have already bought the game, are not getting the full value of this purchase.

Where were you informed of this? I too have TTR from Google Play and the swiss map, but certainly not he space for two versions of the game on my phone. If I could get the Europe map on my GP install I would be happy with that...

So there's no way to get the 1910 and Europe maps from the Humble Bundle to appear in a Google Play installation of TtR? That's frustrating. Ideally I'd like to keep the Google Play installation, so that I keep getting updates automatically from the Play Store and don't need extra frameworks like the HB app installed, but with the extra maps from the Humble Bundle.

Especially if this can happen:

I activated the map packs in my Days of Wonder account and they're available not just on my Android device, but on my iPhone as well.

I just checked on my iPad, the 1910 maps are available in the TtR Pocket iPhone app, but not in the main TtR iPad app. Since I rarely play TtR Pocket, I have no idea if they were there before.

I understood that Apple wouldn't allow in-app purchases to be transferred from other platforms onto iOS.

Anyone from DoW care to clarify how it's supposed to work? I'm guessing everyone's busy at Essen, but maybe there's someone still around.

I bought the Humble Bundle and I'm trying to get Ticket to Ride working with Steam. I activated my Steam keys in the Steam client, it says I have the game and the 2 DLC (1910 and Europe) but when I load the game and hit play, it doesn't give me an option to play any of the maps. I've been searching around for a while to see if there is something I'm doing wrong and I just can't figure it out. Please let me know if there is a step I am missing, I would love to play this game.

-Edit-
Apparently it is working fine for me now. Not sure what I did if anything but all is good. Loving this game. Will probably look into buying the physical game. Keep up the awesome work. =)

Can I check... if I purchase additional dlc via Steam will that unlock the map in the Android version as well or do i need to purchase via this website? Thanks

I'm also trying to figure this out. When I try to buy extra maps on my Nexus 7, the "add to cart" button just flashes like it was pressed and does nothing. I can't find the other maps anywhere on the Google Play store outside of the game, and I'm unsure if buying the "web version" on the Days of Wonder website will get me access to it on my tablet or not.

Does anyone know how we can save a Pass and Play game for future play ? I play with my wife and the electronic version rocks because we have little time to set up a board game. However, we can only play a few minutes at a time and want to be able to save our Pass and Play game to continue later. It doesn't seem to work for me so far.

Also, does anyone know if we can save a online private network game in progress for later play ?

I followed the instructions carefully but I'm still getting an "Invalid code - please verify:" message. I tried using all 3 STEAM codes in my Humble Bundle page (Ticket to Ride, Ticket to Ride 1910 USA DLC, and Ticket to Ride Europe DLC) both with and without dashes "-" (XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX and XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) but still to no avail.

I have the same issue as the last two posters. I bought Ticket to Ride in the PC and Android 7 Humble Bundle, and would like to redeem the DLC now. The steam code does not work, and the /hb page states it only works for the current Desktop Humble Bundle. How can I add the maps to my account?

When is the Ticket to Ride 2.0.1-3318 update going to be available for Android from Humble Bundle? My Steam version updated automatically, but my Humble Bundle Android version is still at 1.6.7-541.

I may be completely wrong here, so my apologies if I am.

My understanding of HumbleBundles is that you are buying the apps directly. That is that you do not get them from GooglePlay but as direct downloads. As such they do not allow upgrades or reinstalls from GooglePlay. For example if you delete the installed app you need to go back to your download link (in humblebundle) to reinstall. You don't go to GooglePlay to install it. GooglePlay has no record of a purchase (since you didn't buy it from them) and so does not include the ability to update it from them.

That being said I suppose DOW could update the DRM free versions they provided to HumbleBundle which could then be downloaded and installed by you, but I've never seen a HumbleBundle provide updates before so I'm not sure if this is even feasible. Someone from DOW will need to answer this part.

Again this is all based on my understanding of how these work. It may be completely inaccurate. Hope that helps.

I already know I can't get it updated from them which is why I didn't even mention Google Play in my post. If I want an update from Google Play I'd have to buy and install it again, as a separate app, which I don't think is necessary when I already own the one from Humble Bundle. But when I use the Humble Bundle App on my device to check for updates to the Ticket to Ride apk, there are none, because it's still distributing version 1.6.7-541 as the most recent - which is from 01/29/2015.

I don't see why they wouldn't because it'd be incredibly unfair and stupid to not allow the people that purchased the app this way to get any future updates to it simply because we bought it in this Humble Bundle and not from the Google Play store. And if this is going to be the case they are going to lose me and the rest of my friends and probably anyone else I tell of this absurdity as a customer.

None of the HumbleBundle's I've bought for android offered any way to update. I've always viewed them as "Snapshot" purchases. You get what you get when you get it, but given the price don't expect anything else. Again this has been my experience with other bundles. I do not own this one.

Again, I'm not DOW. I don't know what their plan was here. I was just pointing out that a HumbleBundle is a completely different release structure. I've seen numerous times people complain that they can't upgrade or reinstall from GooglePlay after installing a bundle. I assumed that was what you were talking about since you weren't specific about it. Just trying to be helpful, sorry if my answer wasn't.

Games I have purchased in the past from Humble Bundle in drm free versions, including direct download versions of android apk's provide updated links from my Humble Bundle page. They don't always get there fast, but they get there. Purchasing games through this method is no different than any other and of course there is an expectation of getting all the updates like any other owner would. I have purchased dlc content for the game as well, so if I were not allowed to update, that would all become useless as well. I hope to see the new version pop up sooner than later, as I am anxious to continue playing this great game on my Android devices.

Add me to the list of people looking forward to this update. The humble bundle version doesn't work on several newer Android devices, including the Galaxy S7. If it will remain the redheaded step child, I'd be willing to pay for a discounted path to the Google Play version to have something I can use.

You're certainly welcome to get the game through Google Play at the discounted price, but we're still working to release the Humble Bundle version. It will bring the Humble Bundle up to version 2.0 at a minimum, meaning that it will have the India and Nordic Countries maps.

My understanding (though I'm not sure on this) is that you won't gain free access to the new maps but you will have the option of purchasing them.
